A Place to Start

(Gen 1:3 KJV)  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

As I was thinking about the attributes of God, I thought of the statement "God is light”.  That brought to mind the beginning of Genesis and the creation, and the opening words of God.  He who is light started by inserting light into the universe.  He was creating.

We think of light as being the bright thing that keeps us from stubbing our toes as we walk through the house at night.  We think of flashlights and headlights.  But the light here is more in the sense of illuminating truth, illuminating justice, and illuminating all those other important issues.  It talks about a character of God in which He rejects darkness and evil.

So?  Rejoice that we worship a god of light.
